Chelsea took on Bohemians in Dublin tonight with two entirely different XIs in the two halves.
The one that played the first half won 1-0, the one that played the second lost 1-0 to a late goal.
Impressions were pretty mixed. The Blues shone in the first half for periods, but the half time changes slowed them down, and in the second half they were barely able to keep the ball.
Reaction on social media was all aware that this was not a test of this team by any measure, but as one commenter said, that second half was indeed a little “scary”. Obviously fans of other clubs are having a laugh at our expense, but anytime you play with a different team in each half, this kind of thing will happen.
Congratulations to Trialist B for his goal, in any case.

Today's Chelsea commentary was so positive, I was beginning to wonder if it was Liverpool that was playing.
LOL

I love how seriousness Chelsea fans are at this useless friendly until they came out with Lampard Out lmao. Blame how useless the players were . Our loanees is full of crap. Just need to sell them straight away instead of loan. Embarrassing. Nothing helpful at all with the loan.

My report as Bohs draw with Chelsea and Frank Lampard hears home fans sing 'You're getting sacked in the morning'. https://t.co/HkJxchz80J

I don't want to rate players on first pre-season friendly match but that second half was scary.
